NMS Families -
There were errors made by Josten's in the printing our yearbooks. Nearly every student who preordered a yearbook will receive their copy today or tomorrow. There are a handful of students who purchased a yearbook online very late in the year. Those students will not receive their copy this week. Those may be picked up in the main office late next week. We will still be receiving nearly 200 copies of yearbooks that will be available for purchase. Any student wishing to purchase a yearbook should see Mrs. Smaka on Thursday. The cost is $40, cash or check made payable to Northridge Middle School. Those books can be picked up from the middle school office on Thursday or Friday of next week. Any student who purchases yearbooks on Thursday will be given signing pages provided by Josten's. These pages have adhesive strips and can later be affixed into the yearbooks.
We greatly apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Smaka, our yearbook coordinator.
